Eleven-Day Celebration of Flanders
Each year, from the end of June to July 11th, the region of Flanders celebrates the successful co-operation and co-existence with its European partners. On July 11th, we also commemorate the famous battle against the French in 1302 and which is called the Guldensporenslag or the battle of the gilded spurs. In that period of European conflicts and wars, the Flemish people managed to trap the French knights, with their horses and heavy suits of amour, in the muddy fields of Flanders. The knights were bogged down in the mud and lost the battle, thus Flanders was not subject to the French occupation. This battle is called Guldensporenslag because the Flemish soldiers took the golden spurs from the knights and decorated the churches with their war trophies. See website for specific event information.
